You will need to configure s3cmd before you can use it. The tool will read the configuration on ~ ~/.s3cfg

1. Create the configuration file if it does not exist:

   No Format
   touch ~/.s3cfg

   
   

2. Edit the file and set up at least the following parameters. You will need to replace <provider> by either ecmwf or eumetsat (your storage provider), as well as <youraccesskey> and <yoursecretkey> that will be given to you by the provider

   No Format
   host_base = storage.<provider>.europeanweather.cloud host_bucket = access_key = <youraccesskey> secret_key = <yoursecretkey> use_https = True

   
   

Basic tasks

If you type s3cmd -h you will see the different options of the command, but here are the basics:

...

You need to store your credentials in a file so S3FS can authenticate with the service. You need to replace <youraccesskey> and <yoursecretkey> by your actual credentials.

...

Assuming you want to mount your bucket in /mnt/yourbucket, here is what you need to do:

sudo mkdir /mnt/bucketname
echo "s3fs#yourbucket /mnt/yourbucket fuse _netdev,allow_other,nodev,nosuid,uid=$(id -u),gid=$(id -g),use_path_request_style,url=https://storage.<provider>.europeanweather.cloud 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
sudo mount -a

Again, please you must replace <provider> by the ecmwf or eumetsat, and you may customise other mount options if you wish to do so. At this point you should have your bucket mounted and ready to use.
